<h1>CAT's Eurosynth</h1> <p>This is my repository for my analog synth eurorack compatible modules. Files given via the "Gerber" directories are actual production data used for my own prototyping. Bugs are to be expected. Corrections for finished boards marked as "working" are done in KiCAD only.</p> <p>Please read the "Known Issues" section given in this repository as "ReadMe.md" whenever appropriate.</p> <h1>License</h1> <p>Code (AVR projects): GPL3.0.</p> <p>Code (STM32F projects): MIT license.</p> <p>Hardware: CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</p> <img src="https://mirrors.creativecommons.org/presskit/buttons/88x31/svg/by-nc-sa.svg"> <p>unless specified otherwise.</p> <h2>Custom Libraries</h2> <p>Most of the schematics and layouts use custom libraries since some of the stock libries are either buggy or unsuited for my designs. The libraries can be found <a href="https://github.com/mzuelch/CATs-Eurosynth/tree/main/Libraries">here</a>.</p> <p>I am about to remodel all the KiCAD Files to use environment variables:</p> <table> <tr> <th>Variable</th> <th>points to</th> </tr> <tr> <td>KI_CUSTOM_MOD</td> <td>Footprint Data (where all the .pretty stuff is hidden)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>KI_CUSTOM_3DMOD</td> <td>3D Model Data (where all the .3dshapes stuff is hidden)</td> </tr> <tr> <td>KI_CUSTOM_SYMBOLS</td> <td>Symbol Data (where all the .lib stuff is hidden)</td> </tr> </table> <p>Layout specific data (mainly front panel stuff) are stored in the corresponding folders. Most of the Links are absolute atm. I will change them as soon as the particular layout is modified.</p> <p>Proper Aliases and other informations are given in these ReadMe's:</p> <ul> <li><a href="https://github.com/mzuelch/CATs-Eurosynth/blob/main/Libraries/Symbols/ReadMe.md">Symbols</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/mzuelch/CATs-Eurosynth/blob/main/Libraries/Footprints/ReadMe.md">Footprints</a></li> <li><a href="https://github.com/mzuelch/CATs-Eurosynth/blob/main/Libraries/3D%20Shapes/ReadMe.md">3D Shapes</a></li> </ul> <h1>Published Designs</p> <h2>Standard Line</h2> <p>Collection of modules with no regard to size.
